For fans of the Fab Four, The Bootleg Beatles will transport festival-goers back to the swinging sixties with their pitch-perfect tribute to the iconic band. Meanwhile, on 'The Garden' stage, discover the hottest new talent from across the country, including the post-punk sounds of Deadletter, the indie charm of Pip Blom, and the psychedelic rock vibes of CVC and Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.

Local favorites Stornoway and the legendary Peter Hook & The Light are set to headline 'The Garden', promising nights filled with unforgettable performances. And let's not forget Dexy's, led by the charismatic Kevin Rowland, closing out the weekend in style with their infectious blend of pop and soul.
